The Kogi State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with the death of a primary school teacher, Mariam Usman, following a series of alleged assaults in Olamaboro Local Government Area.
Police spokesperson ASP Oyiza Afusat said the suspects were apprehended after detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department concluded an extensive investigation into the case.
According to the police, the incident began on June 17, 2026, when Abdullahi Isiaka allegedly assaulted the teacher at her residence over disciplinary measures she had taken against his 11-year-old son at school. Later that day, she was reportedly attacked again by Ramatu Isiaka Eleojo while on her way to a mosque.
Investigators also alleged that on June 18, Ojonojima Mary, the younger sister of Ramatu Isiaka Eleojo, went to Brains Minds Nursery and Primary School in Ugbamaka and assaulted the teacher at her workplace.
The victim received treatment at Grace Clinic in Ugbamaka before being referred to Eleojo Clinic in Okpo, where she later died from her injuries on June 25.
Police said the investigation established a prima facie case of criminal conspiracy and culpable homicide against the three suspects, who are expected to be arraigned in court.
Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Naziru Kankarofi, praised the investigators for their professionalism and reaffirmed the command's commitment to ensuring justice for victims of violent crimes. He also urged residents to resolve disputes through lawful means and continue providing credible information to support law enforcement efforts.
